How Many Calculations BeamNG Does Every Second?

While most modern racing games treat vehicles as rigid objects to save processing power, BeamNG simulates physics at a fundamental level using a complex network of nodes and beams. In this video, we break down the underlying math of the soft-body physics engine to estimate exactly how many calculations your processor performs every second for a single vehicle. We look into why the game requires a 2,000Hz simulation tick rate to maintain stability, how it utilizes high thread counts, and how it handles task parallelism across different CPU architectures. To put this to the test, we run a real-time benchmark comparing an Intel Core i7-14700KF against an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, tracking per-core utilization and frame rates as we scale the simulation from 5 up to 50 concurrent vehicles.
